Specifying Point Styles
Use a Symbol clause to specify point styles. There are three types of Symbol clauses: one for
specifying MapInfo 3.0-style symbols; one for specifying TrueType font symbols; and one for
specifying bitmap symbols.
Specifying Line Styles
Use a Pen clause to specify line styles. In a MAPINFO_MAPCATALOG table, you may need to
specify two pen clauses: one to specify the appearance of linear features, and another to specify the
appearance of region borders.
Specifying Fill Styles
Use a Brush clause to specify the style for closed features (regions).
